83 nice Testpositions (Long and big post).

[George Tsavdaris]

I wonder what Anthony Cozzie would say if he sees the results of a top engine on all these positions.
Would he still believe that current top engines more or less are close to play perfect Chess?
Perhaps in engine-human or engine-engine they are close to it, although i disagree in this too, but in solving testpositions they have many many things to learn more.....

[Uri Blass]

I tested one engine that is not a top engine(private movei that is uisng hash for pruning) and it solved the first position in less than 10 minutes.

Edit:It seems that the second position is easy for many engines
I did not try more positions at the time of this post.

The position is wrong and the correct position is:
Avoid Kd7? that loses and play Ke7 that draws.
[D]rnb1k2Q/1p5p/p7/4p3/4q3/8/PPP2R1P/2K5 b - - 0 1

[George Tsavdaris]

I tested one engine that is not a top engine(private movei that is uisng hash for pruning) and it solved the first position in less than 10 minutes.

Note that i don't claim engines have problems solving some of these.
I claim that the results of top engines in solving ALL of these, are bad results and are below 40% for a reasonable time of 10-20 minutes per position, something not good if we want to support that engines play near perfectly today.
So we can't support it, since computer Chess is not only engine-engine or human-engine games but only analysis of positions and there computer Chess engines have a long way to travel before they can be characterized perfect.....

Bxg7!
[D]2r2rk1/p1q1bpp1/1p6/n2R4/8/P4N2/1B2QPPP/5RK1 w - - 0 1

The last time I checked it, there was some doubt...

Yes, silly me!

I had as a title of the game the "Bxg7!" but in the analysis i had that Rh5! was the best move and a forced win actually and Bxg7 was doubtful. So it is:
Rh5!

Thanks for the correction.....

This is Kasparov-Portisch from the begining of the 80's. Kasparov's move Bxg7 is brilliant from a human point of view (the follow up Ne5 isn't really easy to see), but probably not as good as Rh5! as you mention. I let Fruit 2.3.1 (Extend checks = true) running overnight with searchmoves Bxg7, Rh5 and MultiPV = 2. Here is Fruit's analysis:
